In my Z, 5 1/4" fit the rear locations but they cannot have too deep of mounting depth. In the front you can fit a myriad of sizes since the existing Bose junk is 8". I bought adapter plates and installed 6 1/2" components in the front.

Yes, if you just want to upgrade the "twiddlers", a 3.5" and 5.25" will fit and they will sound better than the Bose speakers.

The speakers you told me you were considering do fit. They've been installed by many members and positive feedback provided in the forum several times:

JL Audio Evolution™ C2 Series 2-way car speakers:
  • C2-350X (3-1/2")
  • C2-525X (5-1/4")
